Hi, I'm Kevin from Inverness, Scotland! I'm sure you've all heard of our famous Loch Ness Monster, with its humped back, long tail and snake-like head. But you probably didn't know that people have been reporting sightings of this strange monster since the 6th century! The first modern sighting was in 1933 when a couple who were driving home saw a creature rolling and diving in the lake. Since then there have been over a thousand recorded sightings and even some photos taken of Nessie. Some people believe that Nessie is a dinosaur called a plesiosaur that somehow survived in Loch Ness but the truth is still a mystery.

I'm Jens from Norway and we have the legend of the Kraken. a horrifying deep-sea monster that was a mile and a half across. As ships approached, the Kraken would wrap its giant tentacles around them or create a violent whirlpool to pull them down to the bottom of the ocean. The Kraken are a species of giant squid. In 2007, fishermen caught a ten-metre long squid with eyes the size of dinner plates and sharp hooks on some of its tentacles off the coast of Antarctica. There's no doubt that giant squid exist, but exactly how big they can grow to and whether they have destroyed ships still remains a mystery.

CHRISTMAS DAY

Christmas Day, December 25th, is the most exciting day of the year for English children. On that day they get presents and give presents to their brothers, sisters, parents and friends.

You probably know that English children hang stockings at the fireplace or near their beds on Christmas Eve. In the morning they usually find their stockings filled with small toys and sweets. They may also find larger toys lying nearby.

The morning will be spent playing with new toys and reading new books. Then comes lunch, traditionally with the turkey as the main dish and Christmas pudding for dessert. The whole family tries to come together on Christmas Day to say "Merry Christmas" to each other.
